I'm just pointing out that Madonna is pretty successful in India. Far more than most western music artists are.

No harm in pointing this out.

Many cultures their populations don't have a TV or radio because they are too poor, in India their Bollywood stars are very famous because going to the cinema is the most popular entertainment, it's cheap and everyone can afford to go - India's population is in billions.

China isolated itself from Western culture for decades, developed it's own culture and it's own celebrities, their population is also in the billions.

Some countries in the Middle East banned Western music for being too provocative.

Taking that into consideration, a Bollywood star or Chinese pop star is likely to be known by billions of people and us in the West will have never even heard of her/him, yet some on here expect everyone on the planet to have heard of Madonna. It's an ignorant and self-important view.

Based on your view, Faye Wong must be considered more famous than Madonna. I'm Chinese myself and I find that hilarious.

Only in a narrow, biased, ignorant western mind, yes she is.

Surely the Queen is!

Without a shadow of a doubt. She can do as she pleases and not worry because she always has 30 years of success in the fickle world of fame.
